Jordan felt inspired to brew his own tea. He forged for various herbs and berries in our backyard.
He washed them and set some aside to dry out.

Parker and I reviewed pronouns and their antecedents.
Afterwards, Parker color coded his worksheet (in GGB).

Pole Planter:
Parker filled the jar with vermiculite, poked holes, and planted his best corn and bean sprout.

Parker and I transformed his milk-carton greenhouse into a seed tray.
Measuring Mass:
Parker measured the mass of his four dry corn and beans. He placed them in water, to soak overnight, and closed his deli tray.
After soaking overnight, Parker measured his corn and beans using his scale.

I transplanted the corn into our garden bed. Hopefully, some of the sprouts, like the radishes will make it.
